Transcriber’s Notes

Language inconsistencies and errors in spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation and in the translations of terms have been retained, except as mentioned under Changes below. The textual differences between the list of illustrations and the illustration captions have not been standardised.

Scale references (× ²⁄₃ etc.) are based on the source document, not on this e-text.

Page 123, paragraph Pubi-ischio-femoralis Externus: (Plate III., Fig. 1, p. is. f. int., Plate IV., Fig. 1, p. is. f. int.) should possibly read (Plate III., Fig. 1, p. is. f. ext., Plate IV., Fig. 1, p. is. f. ext.).

Page 273-274: ... to the region of the midbrain (v²) ...: v² does not occur in Plates XVIII. or XIX.; ... at the side of the forebrain (v′) ...: v′ occurs in Plate XVII.

Some of the numbers in round brackets refer to the bibliography at the end of the text; these have been linked to the bibliography. In some bibliographical references the source document shows blank spaces rather than first names.
